I tested the following chance:

This makes the installer work on QEMU with '-vga cirrus'. It also still works under default QEMU (cirrus isn’t default anymore since QEMU 2.2 according to the docs). The installer also still works on my: * Beebox with Intel * PC with Nvidia and thanks to the resolution of the https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60010 it also works on my * PC with AMD * laptop with AMD None is modern hardware, but still, please add cirrus.
